Windows Services

[csharprox]

I understand that we can't use Windows Services for .NETcf because the
framework footprint is not located inside of services.exe.

Will this change for version 2.0?

Would it be possible for me to write a service in eMbedded C++ that calls
methods on .NET dlls located elsewhere?

I don't want to write my applications in eMbedded C++ but if I could have a
service that is programmed to call Start, Stop, Pause, etc. on my
application code, would that allow me to use multi-threaded services running
silently in the background?

Thanks,

Basically you'd need to be able to host the runtime for C code to call CF
dlls and that is not supported in CF 1.0 or CF 2.0

There is nothing stopping you running a multithreaded CF application in the
background with no UI.
